New to Trainz and have some questions

[Danieldd4]

Hi everyone I have been reading and looking at all the fun trainz info before I buy I have some questions.

1.) I have a computer with MSI mother board with AMD x2 core 2.3 processor And Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT fx card running Windows 7 will my system run Trainz ?

2.) Any Advice I was thiking of starting with the Trainz 2009 world builder (looks like you can add to that a good bit..... Plus if I like it I will buy 2010 later...

Thanks for your time and help

Up until last weekend I was running a very similar setup AMD x2 5200 (2.7 GHz) 6MB of Ram and a GeForce 8600 1GB and it ran both 2009 and 2010 with very little problem, that's in Win7 64 bit. Just upgraded the graphics card which has given me a large jump in frame rates on the larger routes however it was fine with the old card.

Forget TS2009 and get TS2010 instead.

Hey there thanks for the info

I agree with Paul, get TS2010, TS2009 lacks several things that make TS2010 easier to use, after all TS2010 was developed from TS2009 and is the better program. It is complete, you can ignore the WBE/EE nonsense.

Currently upgrading to quad core, but my current athlon X2 5200+ and 3 GBram and ATI 4870 works perfectly, with a small "hiccup" now and then when i change views on LARGELY populated routes. Nothing big, Id say go for 2010 and just make it work
